I have a computer lab running Server 2003. The server is a Proliant 1600 I have two types of workstations: Athlon 2600s and older PIII 700s, all running XP Pro. All have 3Com NICs. The server locks up when the PIIIs are on the network but it doesn't lock u
p when the Athlons are connected. As soon as the older machines are connected, the server begins to slow, then stops responding. As soon as I unplug the PIIIs from the network, the server unlocks. All machines are clean installs. All service packs and NIC
drivers are updated on all machines in question. I also did a clean install of Windows 2000 on the older machines, and the problem remains. I also installed a NIC from the new Athlons in a PIII and the problem remains. I am thinking of trying a 2000 serv
er instead, hoping this will resolve the problem. I need the workstations to run XP, as we're going to edit video with Premiere Pro. Thanks for any suggestions!
